Hey! Don't include me in with those reprobates! I'm an innocent bystander, pure as the fresh driven snow.

I went and checked the mail on Sat (day after my status changed to complete) thinking to myself "it sure would be cool to see my plastic in there.....but ya right, it's too soon". So I was going through the mail as I pulled it out seperating it into junk and keep. The last one I pulled out was a while envelope from.........you guessed it! It was my plastic!!!!

I ran inside, straped on my rig and carried all weekend. It was a nice feeling again......this time I wont let it expire for a year and a half before I renew it! LOL

Good luck to the rest of yall, hope it's as speedy as mine was.

CONGRATULATIONS.

All RIGHT!! Congratulations!

Congrats 13MWZ ! You're back in the saddle again(like the old Gene Autry song).

My wife took her CHL class on June 20. I mailed the packet for her on June 22. DPS rejected her fingerprints August 8, I re-sent the second set of prints on August 10. She doesn't have time to call and check status during the day and she did not receive a PIN (I didn't look at the packet from DPS for the PIN). Can she request a PIN by e-mail?

Also, with having to resubmit the fingerprints, how much longer before she gets her plastic? A best guess would help. I am probably more anxious than she is, but she did ask me when I thought she might get her card. It has been about 6 weeks since the second set of prints was submitted.

MS

MIke, yes her PIN can be requested via email. By all means go ahead and do that, the sooner the better. I would have thought that one would already have been issued to her, since her prints were rejected, and a file started.

When will she get her license is anyone's guess. My best guess would be 6-8 weeks, barring any other glitches, mainly in the background check area. But note that with the new and improved procedures implemented in the beginning of Sept. at HQ it might be much sooner than that. Gads, that sounds like a politician talking, doesn't it?

My packet was returned to me about a month after I originaly sent it in (June 9th), I had sent in the hand filled application instead of the computer one I did online, I still got my plastic in just over 3 months (3 months and 11 days). I dont think prints should hold hers up any longer than mine did.
